Free pancakes for kids at local IHOP restaurants today

Children ages 12 and under can receive a free “Scary Face Pancake” today at participating IHOP restaurants.

Each oversized buttermilk pancake comes with a whipped topping mouth and strawberry nose, as well as two mini Oreo cookies and candy corn on the side. The free food giveaway, which lasts from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., is part of IHOP’s “No Tricks — Just Treats” program promoting a “safe and fun” Halloween.
